¿Pero Jose, por qué asumir que no lo hicieron..?

Weird rumor.

I'm not saying it's impossible but I think this news tells me that KD isn't communicating with anyone about his future - so teams are getting bored and speculating. It also doesn't make sense for KD to not expand his list when Phoenix is basically out of the running and Miami has nothing good to give up. If he really wants out, the league should know what other teams he'd consider at least.

He also said that any Kyrie trade talk is postponed until KD situation is resolved, which makes no sense with this. If Kyrie was the problem they didn't have to wait to anything.

Micic stays in Europe, no chance.

With Micic no longer an option I'd like them to take a chance on Cooper:

Massive L by Marks.

Why did we miss out on this guy? We really need another Center.

I feel like the uncertainty of the roster due to KD being a massive coward is causing the team to miss out on free agents.

I dunno how anyone within this fanbase can defend KD. People blame Tsai, blame Marks, but KD is the one f*cking everything up.

Juancho Hernangomez is not a Center. His brother is.

I would really love for Marks to pull a stunt of trading this **** to the Pelicans or Twolves or even the recently mentioned Celtics, whom he said he would never play for. A team will come to their senses and cave......Eventually. All the players mentioned in trade conversations have more dog mentality than KD does. Jaylen Brown, Ingram, etc.... Are all players who fit a Nets type of culture.

Howard would be a big body for when we play Philly.

Howard can play and defend, it's just the Lakers didn't use him properly.

I don't think Howard has a positive influence in the lockerroom n we have way too many clowns already.

What benefit he brings? If only big body vs Philly, well anyone else can do that.

Howard isn't the same guy even before pandemic days

I wouldn’t say that anymore. He’s done well in Philly and LA. Putting him out there last season next to Davis was a spacing disaster.

I think he’s do much better than DeAndre Jordan and Drummond.

Howard is done. He gives you nothing on offense and is a hack on defense. It was painful watching him on the sixers. Especially in the playoffs.

Howard did not do well in philly. Drummond was much better there.

Howard would be fine if it's just 10 to 15mins a game.
Ask more from him and the fouls will come.

Paradise · Post #98 » by **Paradise** » Thu Jul 28, 2022 1:46 pm

All I can do is laugh. Both sides at this point are annoying me.

Kyrie is using the same culture, the same principles and being a diva with it making a lot of black men look bad right now. He could’ve simply handled this better.

I just want some kind of closure... Either publicly buy-in or get shipped out... Last season was so incohesive I had to stop watching for stretches at a time, I really don't think I can take more of the same :lol:

Personally as annoyed as I am at KD / Kyrie I'd love to see one last ride with Ben Simmons presumably playing as well...

With some here worried Curry will bolt after this season - would a Curry for Sexton trade interest any.
Cav's may well be interested in off loading Colin and Seth is a great get for any team.
I only consider trading Seth if it appears he will move on after this coming season.
Sexton is younger and basically does 95% what Kyrie does with less drama.
A good back court partner for Ben and would probably sign an extension here in the 18 to 20mill per mark.
Any interest?
